Day Four: Someone was listening to our prayers!

We FINALLY got a break from the heat today.  We woke up to a cloudy, wet day due to a late night thunderstorm last night.  The temperature was in the 70s all morning, which made for a much more pleasant work day! We were sent to an elderly couple up the road from the house we were at yesterday, and needed to put a roof over their well house.

We got busy cutting wood, hammering, and putting the covering on and before we knew it, we had finished!



The weather definitely helped with our speed today!  The rain held off just enough for us to finish the well house and started to pour as we were about to get started on the other roof.  We decided to call it quits and went to lunch at a local restaurant in Rainsville where we were treated by the owners (parishioners of St. Philip's) to some great food (can we say fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, cheese biscuits and peach cobbler? mmm). 

And alas, tomorrow is our last day, but we've been so blessed to meet so many wonderful people and help out.  Thanks everyone for your continuing prayers!!
